Saturday, January 20th- Meredith Waldie (Jr., Methuen, MA) had a team-high 13 points as she led her Pilgrims to a 65-37 win over the visiting Newbury College Nighthawks Saturday afternoon. The win gives NEC a 10-4 (4-2 CCC) record, as Newbury goes to 0-13 (0-0 Ind).

The Pilgrims held off the Nighthawks for over 10 minutes into the first half, leading by as much as 31 points. Newbury finally got on the board with a layup by Jessica Lightfoot (Jr., Sewell, NJ) to break the Nighthawk’s drought. The Pilgrims shot 58% from the field in the first stanza.

The Nighthawks came charging back in the second half, as senior forward Jessica Laliberty (Haverhill, MA) dropped in 16 points alone to pick up the Newbury pace. NEC’s LaShawnda Wilson (So., Burlington, VT) contributed to the NEC offense to keep the Pilgrims on top. NEC would not give up the lead as they finished out regulation with a 65-37 win. Newbury’s Lightfoot had 10 points in the loss.

Newbury must be bad if SVC beat them. SVC is now 1-14 i think. Guess it doesn't matter if they are in a league or not they are still bad. Although I hear they have two guards that are decent but they will never have a team of basketball players.

Panthers hit 62 percent for game and 83 percent from three-point range1/25/07

PLYMOUTH, N.H. – Plymouth State University used red-hot shooting Thursday evening to defeat Newbury College, 75-38, in a non-conference women’s basketball game at Foley Gymnasium.

The Panthers connected on 70 percent from the floor in the first half (19-for-27) en route to a 55-18 halftime lead, and finished with a 62.2 percent clip (28-for-45) from the field. PSU also shot 90 percent from the free throw line (9-for-10), and its 83.3 percent from three-point range (10 of 12) is the fifth-best performance in Division III history since the NCAA began tracking the statistic in 1988.

The outcome stopped a six-game losing streak for the Panthers, who improve to 5-13 overall. The hard-luck Nighthawks gave a solid effort but fell to 0-14.

With the big lead, Plymouth State was able to use the entire bench. Freshman Laura Kent (Bellingham, Mass.) led the team with 12 points and nine rebounds, while junior Annie Alosa (Concord, N.H.) was 4-for-4 from the field (3-for-3 from beyond the arc) and finished with 11 points. Sophomore Kayla Morin (Pascoag, R.I.) contributed 10 points, including a pair of threes, and freshman Kathy Frankowski (Unionville, Conn.) chipped in with a season-high nine points.

WOW good to see SVC making all the changes, not that it matters they are still 3-19 with two games left and i will be surprised if they win those. Guess it doesn't matter who you get to coach. Keep changing coaches it makes for great consistency!!!!!!!! I still think the former coach still has the most wins up there with 6 in a season. Whewhoooooo. They actually might be able to beat a few Junior Varsity Teams. Maybe with a New Athletic Director things will change. Too bad the former AD was forced out, now who do we as fans look to for chewing tobacco.
